This photographic tour explores one of the most pristine and unique landscape on all of Australia, Tjoritja / West MacDonnell Ranges is an incredible National Park just west of Alice Springs, stretching for more than 160kms, featuring a series of spectacular chasms and gorges. It offers visitors picturesque walks suitable for all fitness levels, including the famous Larapinta Trail, beautiful swimming holes, and great campgrounds.

The ancient landscape, sculptured over time by climatic change and made famous by the art of Western Arrernte artist Albert Namatjira is on display in the West MacDonnell Ranges. You can find relics of a bygone tropical forest at many of the cool scenic gorges that act as a refuge for an assortment of plants and animals.

The park encompasses an ancient landscape sculpted over time by climatic elements. It’s also a refuge for rare and threatened plants as well as wildlife, including the uncommon bird species such as the Peregrine Falcon.

We will be focusing on the many gorges and water holes including Glen Helen, Ormiston Gorge, Ellery Creek and Serpentine just to name a few. This time of year is perfect, its not to hot and the day are usually beautiful. The red of the land and rocks, the green of the trees and the blue sky create the amazing outback colours we all love so much.
